Electronic States of Al-Mg-Zn Quasicrystal and Its Approximant based on the First-Principles Calculations

Masaki Saito, Takuya Sekikawa, Yoshiaki Ono

First-principles calculations are performed to investigate the electronic states of 1/1 and 2/1 approximants with the composition Al${}_{15}$Zn${}_{40}$Mg${}_{45}$ which is close to the…
